On view throughout July
 
29 works by local feminist artists and writers are now on view in the YWRC Women & Art Exhibit. Visual and written works creatively represent personal experience and acknowledge the varied struggles girls and women from different ethnic, cultural, economic and social backgrounds face.
 
The exhibition is open to the public at the YWRC during our normal business hours.
